tiny mini meet.

Subject to a few other bits and bobs - i've just made enquiries with a pub in the Borders of Northumberland - so lovely area for runs out I have looked at 9 / 10 March with limited numbers up to 20 people on motorbikes not for the 4 wheel crowd thanks, bikes only. Pubs nice, good reasonable priced bar food, camping area. rural location. if the publican gives the go ahead the first ones to put there name down get to go on the meet. Anyone interested camping prices £10 night I think but i will try to negotiate this down a bit. Jake.

Put me down for that Jake. It would be good to see you it has been a few years lol If I wait much longer the next time I see you, I will be on a mobility scooter God alone knows what the insurance risk assessment on that would be let alone the problem of charging points along the way!!

Put me down as a possible, Jake. Only went riding yesterday for the first time since last July and logistical issues might mean early March is a little too short notice.

Hi Chris Im getting the feeling its maybe a bit short notice for many, Ive pm a few people had nothing back so I'm revising the dates and push it back till May.

Can anyone give me some feedback if May is any good Im thinking 18 /19 may so before the schools break up for half term.

This might give me time to sort out alternative pub etc up here. it would be easier for me as i am Out of the country during March and away in April. What I need before booking the pub is a bit of interest so I get a feel that its worth while for the pub to take a block booking for camping.

So that in mind I am going to scrap the March dates and look towards May as an alternative.

Anyone interested then please let me know. We have in northumberland superb roads and routes around the borders, There are some green lanes but they are limited in the north of the county but im not planning a green lane weekend in any case. Just a social get together with a few pleasant runs out around the county and Borders for those who want one.

Cheers jake.

It appears the date Ive mentioned clashes with Haggs bank so again I will have to review that, I wouldn't want to be taking custom away from Danny and his family. I ll have another look at some dates and see how it goes. Im going to a few rallies this year and away on Holidays a bit so its a problem fitting all these nice things to do into the year.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
